Once dried, keep them in an air tight and (preferably) opaque bag and stick them in the freezer. They'll keep for months (at least).

Photocopier and laser printer toner bags are suitable. You can compress them using a hop compressor - a cardboard cylinder from a bottle of whisky with the bottle used as a ram. You don't have to drink the whisky first.
